Of old, it was thought that poets were closer than other mortals to the gods, and heard the whispered echo of their revels on Olympos or Fensalir, or their clash of ethereal arms at Phlegra or Vidblain. Myself, I think it is because men in my profession approach their beloved patrons in the same suppliant […]

Gentle readers, hitherto, my policy was never to ban anyone who did not break one of my rules, printed clearly for all to see in the side column of this page. However, I notice that there are now four men making frequent comments here whose comments I have no desire to read and no desire […]

David Marcoe, a longtime friend and ally, asked me to post a request for your prayers and donations. He writes: My father lives in the Philippines with his wife. For some time his cancer had been lingering, but to all appearances was manageable. Now, it’s gotten more aggressive, such that he needs an operation as […]

I fellow writer just wrote me and asked if I knew of any writers’ forums (fora?) where he could get useful feedback on “Blue SF with frequent Catholic themes.” I had no answer, being an emotionless Houyhnhnm, I’ve never thought of asking for advice, but I know such things are useful to people who can […]

My Alma Mater is a week away from being obliterated by Social Justice. I thought St. John’s College was the one place, the last place, on Earth that would cave in.

A reader asks for your prayerful help, dear readers: I just found out a couple of days ago that my son, my only child is most likely somewhere on the autism spectrum. With my (admittedly slight) understanding of it, he’s probably not a bad case, but I really have no idea what this means. A […]

Dear Readers, I have received more messages, publicly and privately, from fans who enjoy and buy my works but who, deeply offended at at least four, perhaps more, of the ranking officers of my publisher, have told me they can no longer buy my works. This is unprecedented, or, I should say, at least I […]

Please write to your local chapter of the Boy Scouts (whose contact information can be found here: http://www.scouting.org/LocalCouncilLocator.aspx) and ask for the public rebuke, repudiation and immediate discharge from service of the current BSA President, Mr Robert Gates. The Catholic Church in America, in the 1960s and 1970s, welcomed homosexuals into their ranks, and, enamored […]

I was not the only person libeled. This is from the pen of Theodore Beale of Castalia books, my publisher, who goes by the pen name of Vox Day. I join him in asking you, my readers — for you were also defamed — to write: Dear Editor, I am writing to demand a retraction […]
